MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 508 Who do you think you are!
Shen Ningning couldn't believe what she heard.
She looked at Qi Xiuwei in astonishment, and broke down crying in front of her. Qi Xiuwei's eyes were filled with hatred and tears.
Perhaps he was afraid that she might hurt someone suddenly, but Xie Mingan had already walked up to Shen Ningning calmly.
Hold his sister completely behind him.
Mr. Qi looked at her daughter with a complex expression: "You...you are really cruel."
Mrs. Qi cried and rushed over to hug Qi Xiuwei.
“She didn’t do it, it was me. I did everything.”
Mr. Qi was angry: "Shut up! You are still protecting her now. It is precisely because you did not teach her well that you made the child make a huge mistake!"
In terms of blood relationship, Mrs. Qi is Qi Xiuwei’s grandmother.
According to the laws of Cangyun Kingdom, killing a family member within three generations, especially an elder, is a serious crime, ranging from exile to beheading!
Qi Xiuwei choked with tears, her eyes were a little hollow and numb.
“Dad, you have seen it all the time. You know how my grandmother oppressed my mother and me.”
“If she were left awake, she would continue to force me to marry someone I didn’t like. Only after she became ill did I feel that life was so free and beautiful.”
“I no longer have to worry that if I say the wrong word or make an inappropriate look, I will be beaten or scolded. I no longer have to worry that if I refuse to associate with a powerful person, I will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.”
Qi Xiuwei murmured, tears falling continuously.
“She is getting better after her illness, and she smiles more.”
Master Qi became anxious: "Then you can't kill anyone either!"
"I didn't!" Qi Xiuwei screamed, her eyes bloodshot and red.
She looked at her hands, but she couldn't convince herself.
“I didn’t want her to die, I just wanted her not to get better so quickly, but why is this happening...”
Shen Ningning looked through the back of her second brother and turned her head slightly to see that the wound from the tiger's mouth had turned into a ferocious scar on Qi Xiuwei's palm.
For a moment, the girl said she didn't feel bad, but that was a lie.
She watched her friends struggle to save themselves in such a family.
Qi Xiuwei just wanted a happy and peaceful life too much, so she was forced to choose such a radical method.
After being discovered, she didn’t make too many excuses.
Next, whatever Xie Mingan asked, she answered.
Qi Xiuwei has been drugging Mrs. Qi for some time.
She was very cautious, she just wanted to make Mrs. Qi unconscious, so she controlled the amount every time.
Logically speaking, she has been doing it for so long, so there is no reason why she would suddenly give the wrong dose, causing Mrs. Qi's death.
Xie Mingan looked at the mother and daughter crying together in the room, as well as Mr. Qi who was livid next to him.
He said calmly: "You should know that lily of the valley frost is highly toxic. Even if you take a little bit of it, over time, it will turn into something life-threatening."
"But you are right about one thing. You were not the main culprit in her death."
Qi Xiuwei's crying voice paused, and she raised her head, a little surprised.
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Mingan smiled: "What I mean is that you are not the one who wants Mrs. Qi to die. Although you poisoned her, this is only a superficial reason."
“Before that, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Qi.”
Shen Ningning saw her second brother's sharp gaze and suddenly turned to Mr. Qi who was standing aside.
She was slightly stunned, and even Qi Xiuwei frowned in confusion.
Mr. Qi's expression paused and he pursed his lips.
"Master Xie, what do you mean? Do you doubt me?"
Xie Mingan sneered, calm and composed, his eyes as dark as a fox and his belly dark.
"Routine inquiry, you are one of the family members who have been in contact with the deceased. I should check them one by one. This is the procedure. Are you feeling guilty?"
With one sentence, Mr. Qi was completely angered: "Why should I feel guilty? She is my mother, how can I kill her?"
Xie Mingan walked to the corpse and his eyes turned cold: "Have you ever noticed that corpses can talk?"
Speaking, he began to ask.
"Based on the extent of the corpse, the time of death should be within four hours. According to the speed of poisonous death, even the maximum dose of Lily of the Valley Frost would take about two hours from swallowing to death." Calculating the time, that is Early in the morning, when the sky was dark, someone gave Mrs. Qi something to eat.
In order to avoid trouble, Xie Mingan directly told what he had just investigated.
"Before I came in, I casually asked the maids here in the yard. Mrs. Qi uses medicine once in the morning, noon and evening every day."
“According to this situation, there must be something wrong with the medicine I took in the morning.”
Mr. Qi was a little irritated: "Wouldn't it be better if you called all the people who prepared the medicine and delivered it for a thorough investigation? Why do you ask me? I was busy at the government office last night and never came back."
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Xie Mingan smiled.
He pointed to Mr. Qi’s shoes: “They were heavily exposed last night and it rained heavily for a while, but Mr. Qi, the soles of your shoes are clean. You must have never been out.”
Mr. Qi looked down and his face suddenly darkened.
Xie Mingan added: "But I found something more interesting. Why are there wine stains on your sleeves?"
Shen Ningning looked at Master Qi's cuffs and saw that there was actually a mass of brown on the inside of the very inconspicuous cuffs.
If you don’t pay careful attention, you will never find it.
She began to look at her second brother with admiration.
No wonder he was reused by the emperor's uncle. Everyone said that there was no case that Xie Mingan could not solve.
Looking at the degree to which he observes the details, you can tell that he is really powerful.
Mrs. Qi was confused and then she realized what she was doing.
“Yes, sir, why are you still wearing the clothes you wore when you accompanied Weier to the Su Mansion for a banquet?”
If Xie Mingan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have reacted yet.
Mr. Qi did not go home last night. He sent his servant back to convey a message, saying that he was busy with something in the government office.
However, even if he does not come back, there is still a room for Mr. Qi in the government office, which contains clean clothes that can be changed when needed.
Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows: "So Mr. Qi also went to Su Mansion?"
Shen Ningning was surprised: "I didn't notice it."
Qi Xiuwei frowned and recalled, "But as soon as I arrived at the Su Mansion yesterday, my father said there was something urgent and left in a hurry."
Xie Mingan smiled and said with a gloomy look, "Did he really leave, or did he hide in the dark for convenience? Mr. Qi, what do you think?"
He crossed his arms: "No wonder I find it strange that Caiyun, a loyal servant, suddenly betrayed his master. He still suffered unspeakably and chose to commit suicide. It seems that he was bribed by you, a bigger master, right?"
Mr. Qi's face turned livid: "Xie Ming'an! Don't talk nonsense! Although you are older than me in official position, in terms of qualifications, I am your elder. I am only one year older than your father. How dare you talk to me like this."
Xie Mingan has a handsome face with a cold face.
He sneered with thin lips: "I'll give you some face, you really treat yourself as a dish. If it weren't for my sister's sake, you would be a suspect now. I will take you to Dali Temple for interrogation and torture." ."
“Are you using your age to hold me down? That’s ridiculous! Among the criminals I have brought to justice, there are many who are older than you. Now they are all going to Naihe Bridge to drink soup. Who do you think is the oldest?”
Having said that, he took out the token. The imperial decree from Dali Temple was issued by the emperor.
Seeing this token is equivalent to meeting the emperor himself.
"The suspect obeys my order and comes with me back to Dali Temple to plead guilty and commit suicide. If he resists, he will bear the consequences."
Disobeying the imperial order is tantamount to treason.
Generally, no matter how serious the crime is, people will not dare to touch the token when they see it.
However, when Master Qi saw him taking out the imperial order, his expression changed with shock, and then he suddenly rushed towards Shen Ningning.
He actually took out a dagger hidden in his sleeve!
Mrs. Qi screamed, and Qi Xiuwei hurriedly stood in front of Shen Ningning.
“Dad! Don’t do this!”
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi was so upset that he raised his hand and pushed Qi Xiuwei aside.
The sharp blade cut Qi Xiuwei's palm.
She fell down together with Shen Ningning.
With a crisp "clang" sound, the jade ring on Shen Ningning's body fell out.
It's exactly the piece that Hideki and the others gave.
The blood on Qi Xiuwei's palm spread out and was stained with the jade ring. (End of chapter)
